Perhaps you can answer my question. What would you have done if your government had gradually taken away all your rights and eventually took away your citizenship?
More of your murdering Commie heroes, I presume.
Tell that to the blacks who lived under apartheid...
I would but they are all too busy dying of rape, starvation and disease.
You are describing what's happening to the white population of Zimbabwe, right?
Ah yes...the usual suspects...evil white men. Are they to blame for all of Africa's myriad of nation destroying problems as well?
Did the blacks or whites implement apartheid?

Plenty of blame to go around -- blacks and whites share the responsibility for the mess.
Zimbabwe and South Africa (1940s to early 1990s).
Try to stay focused. The Sandinistas are a good example of a Communist government that surrended power voluntarily.

Not unlike the apartheid era black children that had an infant mortality rate eight times higher than their white counterparts.
When have I said one positive thing about the ANC?
Okay, Steve, here's where you either prove that you have a scintilla of a clue, or, as we all know, confirm that you are utterly devoid of any factual knowledge, history, reason, and the ability of rational though. :-)
Please be so good as to tell us when it was, that you were last in any part of South Africa. How long did you spend there. Where , exactly were you. Please list the books ( non-fiction; if you please ) that you have read, about present day and the complete history, of what is today, known as South Africa. How many RSA newspapers, and which ones, do you read daily / weekly ?
As many people, on this thread, have told you, blacks, from all over Africa, tried to get into South Africa, UNDER APARTHIED ! Aparttheid was only instituted, in SA, in its recent history. As long ago, as two years ago, BLACK OWNED / RUN / WRITTEN newspapers, were carrying banner headlines, saying : " IT WAS BETTER UNDER APARTHEID ! " . The ANC is and has ALWAYS been COMMUNIST controlled, led, funded, and run. The Communist Party, in South Africa, was started BEFORE it was in the USA. They set out to systematically make good little Commies out of blacks. They had great luck, with those of the Xhosa tribe ( Mandela's ), who aren't even indigenous to the region. The Afrikaners, were and have been, in South Africa, far longer than the Xhosa. As a matter of historical record, the Zulus, who have always gotten along well with the Afrikaners, brought the Xhosa in, AS SLAVES , after soundly beating them in wars. The whites not only freed the Xhosa, they gave them rights, that they did NOT have , as slaves to the Zulus.
Since Mandela and the ANC took over SA, they have not only institued RACIAL QUOTAS , in every conceivable place, they have completely destroyed the police force, the economy of SA, its medical system, and it's schools. They didn't even win the elections, since the beginnings, fairly, but through intimidation, necklacings, torture, and murder. A " paradise " ? Not in my lexicon. Something " wonderrful for blacks " ? No, not at all; not by anyone's measurements !
You haven't even a glimmer of an idea about what it was and what it now is like in South Africa. You're simply parrotting garbage, that you " think " sounds correct, based on F-A-L-S-E-H-O-O-D ! I haven't the time, to teach you South African history. Your closed, tiny mind, filled, as it is, to the brim, with tripe, isn't open enough to read an eyewhitness article, replies from informed FREEPERS, and make a well reasoned response to any of it. Instead, you write incorrect, error filled, mewlings, that one would expect to find on DU.
Don't post, newbie, about what you " feel ", on any topics that you don't one anything at all about. You just look like the contemptable fool, that you are.
Historically, blacks owned slaves, in South Africa, as did a few whites. Slavery, in South Africa, ended more than a century ago. Wanna try this again ?
Now, " they " ( whomever " they " are ) can choose their own government ? You mean like in Zimbabwe and Haiti ? Under the threats of death, torture, being burned alive, stuffed ballot boxes ? Isn't that special ? :-)
Some background would be appreciated.
